In this march's edition of the @cppafrica
virtual meetup, I got to speak about #cpp #Iterators and the underlying mechanisms behind them, more of the latter actually.
Video recording is now available on youtube. https://youtu.be/lgovePwPSrw

Pointer is not responding after logging in, freezed in the bottom right corner in Ubuntu 20.04.05 lts

When I boot from my installation flash drive and go with "try ubuntu" pointer is responding fine. I run in Asus Vivobook. I have power max 3 hours a day in between long shutdowns. I have ...

Welcome to Part 2 of this series, in which we will look at C language’s concept of pointers and structs. Later on in this article, we will use Panama to mimic these concepts. The goal is to call C function signatures that are often defined to accept pointers and structs....

In this part of the Panama series, the goal is to call C function signatures, often defined to accept pointers and structs, from Java.

Some years ago, I published this project on computing the #Mandelbrot set #fractal in the C #programming language using #pointers and POSIX #threads.

This project is for the JavaScript- or Python-obsessed, high-flying #IT practitioners. The goal is to introduce to the scripting language aficionados the systems programming concepts, specifically programming in a parallel and hardware-proximate manner, with a focus on mathematical computations. There is a comprehensive README, and the code is also fully commented.

Nice video for understanding #pointers in #c
Well explained πŸ‘Œ.

Tahoe support pages are also in denial of the new mouse pointers

Looks like I am not the only person who’s in denial that the time for the mickey mouse gloves are truly over. =(

Meanwhile, I do think that the new default pointer for Tahoe is better than the previous default.

πŸ‘Άβœ¨ Ah, the age-old tale of coders valiantly managing #memory with their bare hands (because clearly, malloc and free are for wimps). This riveting yarn spins a tale of complex #syntax and pointersβ€”wait, no pointers!β€”meant to impress the 3 people who actually understand it. πŸ§ πŸ”§

A short post about a coding pattern that is relevant for people who use the heap liberally and manage memory with their own hands.

πŸš€ Wow, a whole article to tell us that #Go has an assembler and a #garbage collector! 🎩 Apparently, combining them is as thrilling as watching paint dry, but fear notβ€”our hero is here to walk us through the riveting dance of #pointers and write barriers. πŸ“šβœ¨ Who knew #assembly could be this exciting? Oh wait, nobody. 😴

How to store Go pointers from assembly

The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it's great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly.
